About This Course

IoT-Enabled Vertical Farming: Integrating Sensors and Biotechnology for Optimized Crop Production is an intensive one-month program that combines the latest in sensor technology, Internet of Things (IoT), and biotechnological advances to maximize efficiency in vertical farming. The program begins with an introduction to the principles of vertical farming, including the importance of space utilization and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). Participants will then dive into the practical aspects of integrating IoT sensors to monitor and control environmental variables such as light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels.

Aim

This course aims to revolutionize urban agriculture through the integration of IoT technologies and biotechnological innovations in vertical farming. Participants will learn to design and manage sensor-equipped vertical farms that optimize crop production in controlled environments, using less water and land to achieve higher yields.

Program Objectives

  1. Understand the setup and management of IoT-enabled vertical farms.
  2. Implement IoT sensors and networking solutions to monitor crop health.
  3. Apply biotechnological advances to improve crop varieties and production.
  4. Analyze sensor data to optimize environmental conditions and resource use.
  5. Foster sustainable urban farming practices through innovative technologies.
